Cinnamon And Pear Oatmeal Food

PEAR MUFFINS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Puree pears. Add lemon juice to pears. Set aside.
• Mix oil, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
• Stir in pureed pears.
• In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix only until combined. Stir in walnuts if desired.
• Scoop into muffin tins.
• In a food processor mix topping ingredients together. If you don't have a food processor cut butter in using two knives or with a pastry cutter.
• Sprinkle topping mixture over muffins.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes. Muffins are done when they spring back when they're lightly touched. Cool in muffin tins for 5 minutes, then move to a wire cooling rack.

PEAR AND OATMEAL CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel, core, and thickly slice the pears. Toss them with the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cranberries and turn them into a deep, buttered 2-quart baking dish. The fruit should be at least 2 1/2-inches deep in the pan; add more fruit, if necessary.
• For the topping, in a bowl, stir together the flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Drizzle in the melted butter tossing the ingredients with a fork to blend. Be careful not to over mix because you want a loose crumbly mixture, not a bound-together ball of topping. Sprinkle the topping over the pears.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until pears are tender and topping is browned. Serve warm with heavy cream or ice cream.

MAPLE PEAR OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare muffin cups with a light coating of cooking spray.
• Combine dry ingredients (flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon) together in a bowl.
• Core and dice the pears into small chunks. Combine the pears, buttermilk, maple syrup, oil, sugar, egg and all but 2 tablespoons of the oatmeal together in a second bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• Combine the pecans and reserved oatmeal together to use as a topping for the muffins. Set aside.
• Combine the wet and dry ingredients together until just mixed. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling 2/3s full. Sprinkle with the pecan/oatmeal mix. Bake 18 to 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes and remove from pan.
• Serve warm or let the muffins finish cooling on a rack.

CINNAMON AND PEAR OATMEAL

Steps:

• Note: I also tested this recipe using canned pears in their own juice and think canned pears would be a suitable substitute for fresh.
• In a cast iron skillet on medium-high (depends on your range)heat dry roast the oatmeal and cinnamon for approximately 4-5 mintes. DO NOT burn. Remove pan from heat.
• In a saucepan combine the pear nectar with 3/4 cup water. Cook slowly over medium heat just until bubbles appear around the edges. DO NOT boil.
• Add the toasted oats, the grated pear, and salt. Cook mixture stirring constantly, until the oats are tender; about 10-12 minutes.
• Stir in the raisins just before serving.
• Top each serving with a dollop of yogurt.

CINNAMON & PEAR OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a large bowl; add coconut oil, coconut sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Mix with a spoon, until well combined.
• Add to the same bowl, baking soda salt, cinnamon and whole wheat flour; mix until well combined. Stir in pear and oatmeal.
• With a large cookie scoop (I used 3 tbsp. capacity scoop), scoop out the dough and pat it into the scoop to form a firm cookie. Place onto prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2" apart. I put 9 cookies per baking sheet. Note: I used my fingers to pat the top of the cookie to flatten a bit and to make sure it is held together.
• Bake in oven for 10 minutes, until bottom of cookie turns lightly brown. Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes; place on cookie rack until completely cooled.

PEAR AND HONEY OATMEAL

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine milk and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Add oats and cinnamon; simmer, stirring occasionally, until oats are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Place oatmeal in a bowl, top with pear chunks and honey, and serve with more milk, if desired.
